Sam (Sam-I-Am)

I am Sam! I am Sam! Sam I am that Sam-I-Am!
 Don't you want a pint sized pup in your fam?

Howdy! I'm Sam - a 4-5lb, 2-year young Chihuahua/Terrier Mix searching for his Forever Fam!  

I'm a friendly character who enjoys the company of all people (including kids!) and other small dogs I've met.  I find the larger dogs a bit intimidating as I'm about the size of one of their paws - but I could probably live with any calm dog no matter their size (I try not to be a "size-ist" if you know what I mean!)  I have yet to meet any cats so I'm not quite sure what I think about them.  I strive to always be polite - no potty-accidents in the house & I opt against chewing your shoes and other fancy belongings.  I'm not a big toy fan but will take full advantage of every potential cuddling opportunity so I'm looking for a family with lap(s)-a-plenty!

Are you that lucky human to say...

I like a pint sized pup in my fam!
I do! I like that Sam-I-Am!

Let's find out SOON! You can start by emailing  pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or filling out an adoption application on the Paws & Co. Adoptions website TODAY! Thank you! Thank you! Love, Sam-I-Am!

Marshall


"May I have your attention please?
May I have your attention please?
Will the real 'Marshall-The-Yellow-Lab' please stand up?"

Ahem?!?  Yes, that's me.  I'm Marshall and I'm an amazingly handsome Yellow Labrador with stunning green eyes and quite the strong personality (just like my namesake Marshall Mathers III (better known as Slim Shady)).  Now, I know that Slim Shady guy can be a bit intimidating and feels the need to use various expletives, but don't worry, I only speak doglish so no expletives will be rolling out of my tongue (and I'm not intimidating at all...unless you're that cat that I'd love the chance to chase).  I'm just a goofy, 1-2 y/o, 45-lb. guy looking for the perfect family to love me FOREVER!

Although I'm already house trained, I'll need a family with the time and patience to teach me exactly what is expected of a polite adult canine citizen.  I'm not too fond of being confined in a crate and I love to jump on furniture (in fact trying to be "King of the Bed" is one of my favorite games I play with my foster mom (I have yet to win that game...although I'm not sure how she resists my puppy eyes?!?)  I love to be the center of attention and am not too much of a toy-fan (unless there's nothing more exciting going on around me...)

I really love all people I've met so far in my foster home, although I have yet to meet any little  human tykes.  I also have limited experience with either cats or dogs during my short stay with Paws & Co. so please check with the adoption folks if any non-adult and/or canine/feline creatures are part of your family.

"I'm a man, I'ma make a new plan 
Time for me to just stand up, and travel new land (or, at least to a new home)
Time for me to just take matters into my own hands (with Paws & Co.'s assistance, of course)
Once I'm over these tracks man I'ma never look back (well, my Foster Mom's pretty darn awesome so I'll remember her fondly...)" -8 Mile

If a handsome, independent, goofball dog might fit well into your family, please email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the Paws & Co. Adoptions website TODAY!

Noodle the Poodle


Hi-ya! I'm Noodle the Poodle and I'm quite a Snuggle Bug!! My foster mom describes me as an "absolute gem" of a gal who is very easy to have around.  I'm not sure how such a tiny (10-lb), precious gem ended up as a stray in rural Colorado but it happened (insert sad face here).  Lucky for me (insert smiley face here!), I was snatched up by the awesome Paws & Co. team and I'm eager to meet my Forever Family!  

I'm good with all dogs I've met and I absolutely *adore* my cat foster sibling!  I also enjoy all humans I've encountered although I can't specifically say how I'll enjoy those younger tikes given that I don't currently live with any non-adult humans.  I'm quickly learning basic obedience commands as well as what is expected of a stellar adult canine sibling (I actually enjoy the crate for short amounts of time).  Although my favorite activity is *definitely* snuggling up near my human, canine or feline companions, I still have some puppy energy and can play with the best of 'em!  And, I almost forgot to mention that us poodles are one of the most hypoallergenic dog breeds (less shedding and less dander than many other breeds!!)

If you're on the search for a petite Noodle-Poodle-Snuggle-Bug companion to join your family, please email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the Paws & Co. Adoptions website today!

Spartan

Hello there, future co-pilots! My name is Spartan and I'm an active, 3-year-young, 50-lb Australian Shepherd/Australian Heeler pup who was rescued from a rural Colorado shelter by my amazing foster family through Paws & Co.!  I feel so fortunate that everyone is so invested in helping me find the absolute perfect co-pilot to spend my days (and nights!) with...

I absolutely love the company of all people and friendly dogs I meet.  I also don't seem to mind little kiddos or cats.  Yep, you read that right...I get along well with all species of creatures!  You may be wondering why I'm specifically searching for a future co-pilot?!?  Well, because I love car rides, of course!  I dream of a family that will let me accompany them around town (or maybe around a farm or ranch?!?)  I'd love if we could venture into the Colorado wilderness - hey...maybe we could even do a little hiking while we're at it?!?
I almost forgot to mention that I'm already house-trained and know some basic obedience commands.  I also love to play, chew bones (but not your furniture or socks!) and cuddle with my humans!  

Won't you please come visit me?  At least take the first step today and email 
pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the Paws & Co. Adoptions website - ensuring that you mention your potential future co-pilot, Spartan!
 

Maxwell

Hello! Hello! Thanks for stopping by my very own autobiography site! I'm Maxwell, a 2.5 year-young Yorkie who weighs in at a whopping 12-lbs. I'm not sure how such a fun-loving, smart guy ended up as a stray...but it happened.  Luckily, I was rescued by my foster family and the Paws & Co. folks are letting me fully participate in finding myself my very own Forever Family!

While staying with the aforementioned (now that's a big word for such a little canine, eh?!?) foster family, I've spent a good amount of time with dogs and humans of all sizes & ages and we all get along just swell.  I have yet to experience the company of a cat but, if you're interested in meeting me, don't let that stop you - please just inquire with the Paws & Co. crew about our potential compatibility! 

As a playful guy, I'd love to share my life with an active family who has time for frequent walks or other forms of exercise.  I'd also like the opportunity to display my smarts by learning more doggie obedience commands (I already am housetrained & know some basic obedience but I'd love some further intellectual challenges - tee! hee!!)

If an attractive, energetic and smart guy might fit well into your family, please email 
pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the Paws & Co. Adoptions website today!

Moose

"Hey, good morning, Mile High city! It's now five after the hour of 6:00 A.M. Temperature's a frigid 30 degrees...& it looks like it's gonna be a perfect day to maybe just lie in bed, sleep in, or simply...ADOPT A MOOSE!"

Howdy! In case you didn't recognize that quote, it's (modified) from the alarm clock of my hero, Sully (ya know, that big, awesome dude from Monsters, Inc.)...and I'm Moose - a 3  year-young, Chocolate Lab searching for a Forever Family that will appreciate my big, goofy self!  Just like Sully (& most young labradors) I can, on occasion, get myself into a little trouble with my overwhelming exuberance for life, but I'm truely a total lover of a guy who will be a life-long, loyal companion to some lucky Family!

I'm really enjoying my foster family which includes some pretty awesome adult humans, as well as a canine sibling who I love to frolic with!  When I'm not romping around with my new pals, I love to vigorusly wag my entire posterior side, potty exclusively outside, receive belly scratches and excitedly PLOP down into my bed in this adorably, clumsy manner.  I have yet to encounter younger children or cats so please inquire with the Paws & Co. folks about our compatibility if you think your creatures might appreciate my goofiness.

If you're searching for a fun, active, goofy guy to share your life with, please email 
pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the Paws & Co. Adoptions website today (and tell them you want to ADOPT A MOOSE!)!

Leo

So, the other day, someone referred to me as a "Social Butterfly".  Therefore, I referenced my handy-dandy Dog-lish Dictionary and found the following:
1. A dog who is VERY social and easygoing. Usually these dogs bounce from one group to another and are accepted in all of them.
2. It's a word/title that is used to describe a dog that is popular
3. Leo.

Woah! Did you see that?!?  I'm Leo and I'm in the Dog-lish Dictionary listed under social butterfly!  I'm a 1-2 year-young, 10-lb Cairn terrier/Yorkshire terrier mix who is excited about life!!  I was transported to my stellar Paws & Co. foster family after being "rescued" from a rural Colorado shelter and I'm living my second-lease-on-life to the fullest.  I spend my days bouncing around the house  and flitting about all groups of pups and humans that I encounter.  When I'm not busy playing with my canine friends, I enjoying stretching out on any available yoga mat (I'm working on getting a new yoga pose named after me - don't you think "The Leo" sounds so much better than the generic "Downward Facing Dog"?)  I also want to share that I'm potty-trained, crate-trained and I'm a very fast learner (I probably wouldn't be popular if these 3 things weren't true)!  I have yet to encounter any feline characters or young children so please inquire with Paws & Co. if such characters are part of your family.  

If a fun-loving, bouncy, yoga-loving social butterfly seems like a good fit for your family, please  email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the Paws & Co. Adoptions website today!
